Sportsmanship, close competition, and adverse weather were the themes that ran through the 2011 944 National Championships. Through rather diabolical conditions, at a track known for being treacherous in the wet, 944 Spec competitors proved that clean & close racing can be done, even at the highest levels of club racing. After some last minute pre-event attrition, 15 cars started the event, and through 4+ days of fierce on track competition, there was no damage from car to car contact, no passes under yellow, or DQ’s for any reason. Thanks to heads up driving and excellent trackside support from the Bennington Motorsports team, every last one of the cars was on track for the big event – a remarkable achievement. Kudos all around!
